...and another newbie!

[Skeetergirl]

Hi everyone,

I started vaping a month ago as of yesterday. I bought my last carton of cigarettes on July 18th and finished the last one in the last pack yesterday. I'm hoping not to buy more because being without the stinch and the messy ashes is so much nicer. I still have a lot to learn! Thanks for all of the valuable information!

I've had the "Quiters Flu" and sore mouth for the last week. I've upped my fluid intake and hope the dry sore mouth improves soon.

Welcome to ECF! Stick with it. It gets easier.

Good luck, and ask away with any questions or problems you run into.

While your at it head over to the ECF Library and read through "The Wonderful World of vaping", it has some good topics on how to stay away from the analogs. And it'll help you a lot in understanding what we're saying on here.

Welcome to ECF , and yes some of your symptoms , will go away , with time . As for the sore throat , try not vaping too much . And check the strength of nicotine your using . The stronger the nic. level , the more likely , to get some throat irritation .

Yay for you, and welcome! As already said, it does get much easier and soon you won't even think of cigs. I know that sounds silly now but trust me, vaping will replace smoking and it is so much more enjoyable

 

[Skeetergirl]

Thanks everyone. It is getting easier and I do enjoy vaping. I surely wish I had found this place to research before I got started.

I'm using a few different JC juices in 18mg.

Glad to hear you are finding your groove. Drink water water water water and more water and you will feel fantastic. Welcome aboard and keep us posted on your progress

 

[Skeetergirl]

Thanks! I'm drinking Gatorade today also thinking that might help some also

Hi and welcome skeetergirl!

Congrats on the switch, and welcome! It's definitely a whole new world with E-cigs, but you pick it up as you're able and when you need the information about a particular thing. But this is the best place to go to find it, whatever it may be. Stick with it and the detox symptoms will disappear before you know it and then you'll really appreciate having made the switch.

Im also chewing gum today for two reasons... first to keep my mouth and throat moist and second because I have resisted the urge to go buy a pack of analogs to have that morning ahhhhhhhh! LOL

 

[WalksWithWiFi]

ahhh, the quitters flu...how i didn't miss that-
Welcome to the forum Miss *bows*
hang tight, the dry mouth gets better...and who knows, you might find a juice that makes your mouth water like
i did recently =)

 

[Skeetergirl]

Well, lots more juice to try so it just might happen.

Hey, Skeetergirl, and welcome!
Glad you found ECF - it is an invaluable resource and support system - full of really helpful, friendly people, as you can already see!

Sorry to hear about the "flu" and the sore mouth; it will get better, though, hang in there!

Good luck to you and remember to never hesitate to ask and to keep read, read, reading in here. The vaping world is not stagnant and there is always something new to learn or a new PV, juice, or delivery method to investigate regardless of how long you've been vaping.

Welcome. I too was discouraged for little bit, it will get easier. Your body has to adjust to the nicotine intake. I have been vaping about 6 months now and just recently stepped down from 24mg to 16mg. It takes time and willpower. you can do it. Vape on.

Welcome Skeetergirl. Yes, the dry throat. I still get it but then I drink more beer than water. Stay away from beer. What I do sometimes is suck on lifesavers or some other kind of hard candy to keep my throat moist. It helps but sometimes doesn't go to good with the flavor I'm vaping.
